MOC: Fili

[Pate-keetongu]

Here's the newest - and the second to last - dwarf on my Company of Thorin Oakenshield project (which was formerly called Hobbit Dwarves project, but I am going to build Gandalf and Bilbo too, so...). Fili is brother of Kili (who made it into Eurobricks front page - yeah!) and nephew of Thorin Oakenshield. This young dwarf was a fun build as I had had 1 three-week break from MOCing bacause my summer job in nothern Finland. I's especially pleased with the face, boots and scabbard strap (which uses cord piece from CMF fishing rod). The hair was challenging: The only medium dark flesh pieces used are Persian arches, 1x2 bricks and 1x2 tiles, somehow held together via half-pins and other SNOT magic connections.

The heirs of Durin: Thorin, Fili and Kili.

There's more photos on Brickshelf, more information on Cyclopic Bricks and an overview of this project on Flickr set.

This is also my 500th post on Eurobricks! Who's the knigh now! To the heroic deeds----->!

EDIT: The heroic deed was to change my name into Pate-keetongu, the name I use in the most parts of LEGO community, without interrupting admins. But deep inside I'm still a pig. Better be a pig than a fascist pig, as Porco Rosso famously said.

Another great dwarve The upside-down half arches work nicely for the hair. Are those knife handles sticking out of his boots?

The whole series of them has been fantastic. I'm looking forward to a photo of the whole company together.
